Today was an overcast day and as I write this it is raining outside.
I've secretly been wanting it to rain (don't hate me) so I could catch my breath a little and get a little caught up......though I never get as much done as I hope on days like today.
OH where oh where does the time go????? I'm sure you don't know either:)) or maybe you do!
I did manage to take pictures of the roses that are incredible this year....a customer teased me wondering why I was taking pictures when I should have been working...... haha
I feel like I've missed taking pictures of so much that has gone by already. Of course I can't think of any right now.....maybe they weren't all that great if I can't think of any :)

I thought I'd continue to show you some of the plants that Paula got a couple of weeks ago. Hope you're not bored with me talking about Paula?
I just love to talk about my very talented friend and lucky for me she puts up with my obsession of her.

The color scheme continued with purple being dominant.

The addition of yellow torenia with deep purple center went so well with

coleus with lime green leaves.

The yellow gives it that extra punch of color that I think really works.

I just love it!!!!

Mrs Cox geranium and burgundy oxalis.

That little cutie fern in the middle is pony tail fern

which to me looks like the stuff you see in fish tanks.

What is that stuff called anyways???

I didn't get a good view of the salvia on the left..called Wendy's Wish. It's a salvia developed in Australia and the royalties go to a charity there. I'll have to ask my friend Julie if she's ever heard of it. It's one of the coolest salvia's I've ever seen with tips that look like purple velvet. I saved one for myself so I'll get some close ups later to show you.

What a plant geek I am!!!

Variegated licorice complimenting the ferny gray leaf of the lavender.

Osteospermum that I just realized I almost forgot to mention....gee since it's in 3 photos.

Hopefully I'll be able to show you these babies all planted up in Paula's garden this summer.

I'm sure she'll do a stunning job like always.

Thanks still for all your kind emails and comments about George.

He's doing much better and though he still has some pain he's at least walking.
